CW has already soiled himself with excitement of having Hoiberg and Abdelmassih on as guests this week.
Hoiberg to Huskers
- Thread starter CaliforniaCy
- Start date
I hope they don't get the idea of starting up a Nebraska Iowa State rivalry game thinking it would be awesome. I think it would be a bad read on the state of a significant portion of the Iowa State fan base.
He's got to have his Niang piece figured out already. Hoiball without the high post scorer/passer probably doesn't get very far. And that is a skill set every coach is already after.
Fred never looked seriously at an Iowa kid when he was in Ames. It would be odd that the first Iowa kid he goes after is while he is coaching at Nebraska.
It has changed in that there's more schools recruiting, but there's also way more transfers available. I could see him going very heavy with grad transfers, especially this first season.
Transfers, particularly grad transfers, are just like free agents. Small recruiting windows, use them to supplement your roster, and if they don't turn out, then they're not taking up space.
I dont know, is Nebraska a hot bed for basketball recruiting like Pennsylvania is for wrestling?
It will be interesting to see how he recruits. Blue-bloods were not in the transfer game when he was here; whole new recruiting world now then when he left here. His comments on recruiting will be used against him by other coaches.
He was seriously involved with both Jok and Abrahamson until Lefty screwed it all up and we had to stop recruiting them. Jok would have been a Cyclone.
There are very few. Very Few. Its surprising that a city like Omaha doesn't produce more BB talent.
I'm pretty sure Lefty was sitting in the Michigan State section near the Hoiberg's (not Fred as he was not there on Saturday) on Saturday in Des Moines.
Time to add a Nebraska/Fred subforum similar to In-state Rivals.
jsb is banned from the subforum.
